However, location-aware alarms might be very useful for a completely different use case: if you want to sleep in public transport you could set your N900 to wake you up when approaching a destination.

Actually, I think it's too simple, and not many people would be using it. If I find the time, I'll try and include such functionality in my alarmed app (linked in signature)

looking at the location awareness for alarms etc, the "Shepherd" source/event/action/alerting framework in the works by Attila (search in the forum for more info) should cater for this requirement easily. I think he's waiting for PR1.2 to release it.
